CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/998,786, filed on Aug. 16, 2018, which claims benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/546,968, filed Aug. 17, 2017, and each application is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to solid forms of an HIV capsid inhibitor, including

pharmaceutically acceptable salts and cocrystals of the inhibitor, as well as crystalline forms of the salts and cocrystals, for use in the treatment of a Retroviridae viral infection including an infection caused by the HIV virus. The present disclosure also relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing the novel salts, cocrystals, and crystalline forms thereof, and methods of treating or preventing a Retroviridae viral infection.

BACKGROUND

Positive-single stranded RNA viruses comprising the Retroviridae family include

those of the subfamily Orthoretrovirinae and genera Alpharetrovirus, Betaretrovirus, Gammaretrovirus, Deltaretrovirus, Epsilonretrovirus, Lentivirus, and Spumavirus which cause many human and animal diseases. Among the Lentivirus, HIV-1 infection in humans leads to depletion of T helper cells and immune dysfunction, producing immunodeficiency and vulnerability to opportunistic infections. Treating HIV-1 infections with highly active antiretroviral therapies (HAART) has proven to be effective at reducing viral load and significantly delaying disease progression (Hammer, S. M., et al.; JAMA 2008, 300: 555-570). However, these treatments could lead to the emergence of HIV strains that are resistant to current therapies (Taiwo, B., International Journal of Infectious Diseases 2009, 13:552-559; Smith, R. J., et al., Science 2010, 327:697-701). Therefore, there is an ongoing need to discover new antiretroviral agents and to develop methods for their preparation and purification as well as prepare improved pharmaceutical formulations of the same. The solid forms of the HIV capsid inhibitor disclosed herein help meet these and other needs.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present invention relates to new solid forms of the HIV capsid inhibitor N—((S)-1-(3-(4-chloro-3-(methylsulfonamido)-1-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-1H-indazol-7-yl)-6-(3-methyl-3-(methylsulfonyl)but-1-yn-1-yl)pyridin-2-yl)-2-(3,5-difluorophenyl)ethyl)-2-((3bS,4aR)-5,5-difluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)-3b,4,4a,5-tetrahydro-1H-cyclopropa[3,4]cyclopenta[1,2-c]pyrazol-1-yl)acetamide (i.e., Compound 1, see below). One skilled in the art understands that a compound structure may be named or identified using commonly recognized nomenclature systems and symbols. By way of example, the compound may be named or identified with common names, systematic or non-systematic names. The nomenclature systems and symbols that are commonly recognized in the art of chemistry including but not limited to Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) and International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). Accordingly, the compound structure for Compound 1 provided above may also be named or identified as N—((S)-1-(3-(4-chloro-3-(methylsulfonamido)-1-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-1H-indazol-7-yl)-6-(3-methyl-3-(methylsulfonyl)but-1-yn-1-yl)pyridin-2-yl)-2-(3,5-difluorophenyl)ethyl)-2-((3bS,4aR)-5,5-difluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)-3b,4,4a,5-tetrahydro-1H-cyclopropa[3,4]cyclopenta[1,2-c]pyrazol-1-yl)acetamide.

Compound 1 can be a weak acid (pKa 6.7 at sulfonamide) or a weak base (pKa<1 at pyridine) and consists of two atropisomers, Isomer A and Isomer B, that can rotate along one of the C—C bonds, as shown below. In solution, the two atropisomers coexist in the ratio of about 1:5 to 1:8 (Isomer A:Isomer B), depending on temperatures and pH. The two atropisomers can be separated by chromatography but they re-equilibrate in solution (t1/2≈1-2 hours at 37° C.) and the rotational energy barrier is about 24 kcal/mol.

As described herein, Isomer B can be enriched by crystallization. For example, Isomer B can be enriched by preparing Form I of the sodium salt and Forms VIII of the methanesulfonic acid salt (or cocrystal).

The solid forms of the invention include salt forms (both amorphous and crystalline) as well as cocrystal forms of Compound 1. As used herein, “solid form” generally refers to a solid chemical substance that can be amorphous or crystalline. In some embodiments, the solid form of the invention is a salt of Compound 1 which can be amorphous or crystalline. In further embodiments, the solid form can be a cocrystal of Compound 1, in which Compound 1 has formed a crystalline solid together with a coformer molecule. Both crystalline salts and cocrystals of Compound 1 can exist in different crystalline forms (i.e., have different polymorphic or pseudopolymorphic forms).

As used herein, the term “cocrystal” refers to a compound (such as Compound 1) crystallized together with one or more coformer molecules (e.g., molecules other than the compound). Depending on the chemical nature and proportion of coformers present in the cocrystal, different physical properties related to, for example, dissolution and solubility may be observed compared with solid forms of the compound by itself or salts thereof. In some instances, the coformer molecule may be a protic acid, and whether the protic acid forms a salt or a cocrystal will often depend on the relative pKa's of the compound and coformer. See, e.g., Regulatory Classification of Pharmaceutical Co-Crystals: Guidance for Industry, revised August 2016, published by the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services, FDA, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER).

As used herein, “crystalline form” is meant to refer to a certain lattice configuration of a crystalline substance (e.g., a salt or a cocrystal). Different crystalline forms of the same substance typically have different crystalline lattices (e.g., unit cells) which are attributed to different physical properties that are characteristic of each of the crystalline forms. In some instances, different lattice configurations have different water or solvent content.

According to the present invention, a crystalline form of a salt or cocrystal of Compound 1 can be useful in the synthesis and/or purification of Compound 1. For example, a crystalline form of a salt or cocrystal of Compound 1 can be an intermediate in the synthesis of Compound 1. In addition, different crystalline forms of salts and cocrystals of Compound 1 may have different properties with respect to bioavailability, stability, purity, and/or manufacturability for medical or pharmaceutical uses. Variations in the crystal structure of a pharmaceutical drug substance or active ingredient may affect the dissolution rate (which may affect bioavailability, etc.), manufacturability (e.g., ease of handling, ability to consistently prepare doses of known strength), and stability (e.g., thermal stability, shelf life, etc.) of a pharmaceutical drug product or active ingredient. Such variations may affect the preparation or formulation of pharmaceutical compositions in different dosage or delivery forms, such as solutions or solid oral dosage form including tablets and capsules. Compared to other forms such as non-crystalline or amorphous forms, crystalline forms may provide desired or suitable hygroscopicity, particle size controls, dissolution rate, solubility, purity, physical and chemical stability, manufacturability, yield, and/or process control. Thus, the crystalline forms of the salts and cocrystals of Compound 1 may provide advantages such as improving the manufacturing process of the compound, the stability or storability of a drug product form of the compound, the stability or storability of a drug substance of the compound and/or the bioavailability and/or stability of the compound as an active agent.

The use of certain solvents and/or processes have been found to produce different crystalline forms of the salts and cocrystals of Compound 1 which may exhibit one or more of the favorable characteristics described above. The processes for the preparation of the crystalline and cocrystal forms described herein and characterization of these crystalline and cocrystal forms are described in detail below.

In some embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable salts described herein, cocrystals, or crystalline forms thereof, are purified or substantially isolated. By “substantially isolated” is meant that the salt, cocrystal, or crystalline form thereof is at least partially or substantially separated from the environment in which it was formed or detected. Partial separation can include, for example, a composition enriched in the salt, cocrystal, or crystalline form of the invention. Substantial separation can include compositions containing at least about 50%, at least about 60%, at least about 70%, at least about 80%, at least about 90%, at least about 95%, at least about 97%, or at least about 99% by weight of the salt, cocrystal, or crystalline form of the invention. In some embodiments, the salt, cocrystal, or crystalline form of the invention can be prepared with a purity of about 75% or more, 80% or more, 85% or more, 90% or more, 95% or more, 98% or more, or 99% or more.

The different crystalline forms can be identified by solid state characterization methods such as by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD). Other characterization methods such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) further help identify the form as well as help determine stability and solvent/water content.

An XRPD pattern of reflections (peaks) is typically considered a fingerprint of a particular crystalline form. It is well known that the relative intensities of the XRPD peaks can widely vary depending on, inter alia, the sample preparation technique, crystal size distribution, various filters used, the sample mounting procedure, and the particular instrument employed. In some instances, new peaks may be observed or existing peaks may disappear, depending on the type of the instrument or the settings. As used herein, the term “peak” refers to a reflection having a relative height/intensity of at least about 5% of the maximum peak height/intensity. Moreover, instrument variation and other factors can affect the 2-theta values. Thus, peak assignments, such as those reported herein, can vary by plus or minus about 0.2° (2-theta), and the term “substantially” and “about” as used in the context of XRPD herein is meant to encompass the above-mentioned variations.

In the same way, temperature readings in connection with DSC can vary about ±3° C. depending on the instrument, particular settings, sample preparation, etc. Accordingly, a crystalline form reported herein having a DSC thermogram “substantially” as shown in any of the Figures or the term “about” is understood to accommodate such variation.

The present invention provides crystalline forms of certain compounds or salts thereof. In some embodiments, the crystalline form may be substantially anhydrous. In some embodiments, the crystalline form may be hydrated or solvated.

In some embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable salt, cocrystal, or crystalline form of Compound 1 disclosed herein is enriched in Isomer A. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable salt or crystalline form disclosed herein is enriched in Isomer B. As used herein, the term “enriched,” refers to an increased amount of a particular compound, salt, or isomeric compound in a mixture when compared with the amount of the compound, salt, or isomeric compound in the mixture prior to being enriched. For example, a mixture enriched in an isomeric compound of Isomer A has an increased amount of the isomeric compound of Isomer A relative to the isomeric compound of Isomer B when compared with the relative amounts of the isomeric compounds of Isomer A and Isomer B in a starting mixture.

The description below is made with the understanding that the present disclosure is to be considered as an exemplification of the claimed subject matter, and is not intended to limit the appended claims to the specific embodiments illustrated. The headings used throughout this disclosure are provided for convenience and are not to be construed to limit the claims in any way. Embodiments illustrated under any heading may be combined with embodiments illustrated under any other heading.

Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art.

When trade names are used herein, it is intended to independently include the tradename product and the active pharmaceutical ingredient(s) of the tradename product.

As used herein and in the appended claims, the singular forms “a” and “an”, and “the” include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, e.g., reference to “the compound” includes a plurality of such compounds and reference to “the assay” includes reference to one or more assays, and so forth.

“Pharmaceutically acceptable” refers to compounds, salts, compositions, dosage forms and other materials which are useful in preparing a pharmaceutical composition that is suitable for veterinary or human pharmaceutical use.

“Pharmaceutically acceptable excipient” includes without limitation any adjuvant, carrier, excipient, glidant, sweetening agent, diluent, preservative, dye/colorant, flavor enhancer, surfactant, wetting agent, dispersing agent, suspending agent, stabilizer, isotonic agent, solvent, or emulsifier which has been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration as being acceptable for use in humans or domestic animals.

“Pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to a salt of a compound that is pharmaceutically acceptable and that possesses (or can be converted to a form that possesses) the desired pharmacological activity of the parent compound.

“Subject” and “subjects” refers to humans, domestic animals (e.g., dogs and cats), farm animals (e.g., cattle, horses, sheep, goats and pigs), laboratory animals (e.g., mice, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, pigs, rabbits, dogs, and monkeys), and the like.

As used herein, “treatment” or “treating” is an approach for obtaining beneficial or desired results. For purposes of the present disclosure, beneficial or desired results include, but are not limited to, alleviation of a symptom and/or diminishment of the extent of a symptom and/or preventing a worsening of a symptom associated with a disease or condition. In one embodiment, “treatment” or “treating” includes one or more of the following: a) inhibiting the disease or condition (e.g., decreasing one or more symptoms resulting from the disease or condition, and/or diminishing the extent of the disease or condition); b) slowing or arresting the development of one or more symptoms associated with the disease or condition (e.g., stabilizing the disease or condition, delaying the worsening or progression of the disease or condition); and/or c) relieving the disease or condition, e.g., causing the regression of clinical symptoms, ameliorating the disease state, delaying the progression of the disease, increasing the quality of life, and/or prolonging survival.

As used herein, “delaying” development of a disease or condition means to defer, hinder, slow, retard, stabilize and/or postpone development of the disease or condition. This delay can be of varying lengths of time, depending on the history of the disease and/or subject being treated. As is evident to one skilled in the art, a sufficient or significant delay can, in effect, encompass prevention, in that the subject does not develop the disease or condition. For example, a method that “delays” development of AIDS is a method that reduces the probability of disease development in a given time frame and/or reduces extent of the disease in a given time frame, when compared to not using the method. Such comparisons may be based on clinical studies, using a statistically significant number of subjects. For example, the development of AIDS can be detected using known methods, such as confirming a subject's HIV⁺ status and assessing the subject's T-cell count or other indication of AIDS development, such as extreme fatigue, weight loss, persistent diarrhea, high fever, swollen lymph nodes in the neck, armpits or groin, or presence of an opportunistic condition that is known to be associated with AIDS (e.g., a condition that is generally not present in subjects with functioning immune systems but does occur in AIDS patients). Development may also refer to disease progression that may be initially undetectable and includes occurrence, recurrence and onset.

As used herein, “prevention” or “preventing” refers to a regimen that protects against the onset of the disease or disorder such that the clinical symptoms of the disease do not develop. Thus, “prevention” relates to administration of a therapy (e.g., administration of a therapeutic substance) to a subject before signs of the disease are detectable in the subject (e.g., administration of a therapeutic substance to a subject in the absence of detectable infectious agent (e.g., virus) in the subject). The subject may be an individual at risk of developing the disease or disorder, such as an individual who has one or more risk factors known to be associated with development or onset of the disease or disorder. Thus, the term “preventing HIV infection” refers to administering to a subject who does not have a detectable HIV infection an anti-HIV therapeutic substance. It is understood that the subject for anti-HIV preventative therapy may be an individual at risk of contracting the HIV virus. Further, it is understood that prevention may not result in complete protection against onset of the disease or disorder. In some instances, prevention includes reducing the risk of developing the disease or disorder. The reduction of the risk may not result in complete elimination of the risk of developing the disease or disorder.

As used herein, an “at risk” individual is an individual who is at risk of developing a condition to be treated. An individual “at risk” may or may not have detectable disease or condition, and may or may not have displayed detectable disease prior to the treatment of methods described herein. “At risk” denotes that an individual has one or more so-called risk factors, which are measurable parameters that correlate with development of a disease or condition and are known in the art. An individual having one or more of these risk factors has a higher probability of developing the disease or condition than an individual without these risk factor(s). For example, individuals at risk for AIDS are those having HIV.

As used herein, the term “therapeutically effective amount” or “effective amount” refers to an amount that is effective to elicit the desired biological or medical response, including the amount of a compound that, when administered to a subject for treating a disease, is sufficient to effect such treatment for the disease or to an amount that is effective to protect against the contracting or onset of a disease. The effective amount will vary depending on the compound, the disease, and its severity and the age, weight, etc., of the subject to be treated. The effective amount can include a range of amounts. As is understood in the art, an effective amount may be in one or more doses, i.e., a single dose or multiple doses may be required to achieve the desired treatment outcome. An effective amount may be considered in the context of administering one or more therapeutic agents, and a single agent may be considered to be given in an effective amount if, in conjunction with one or more other agents, a desirable or beneficial result may be or is achieved. Suitable doses of any co-administered compounds may optionally be lowered due to the combined action (e.g., additive or synergistic effects) of the compounds.

“Enantiomers” are a pair of stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. A 1:1 mixture of a pair of enantiomers is a “racemic” mixture. A mixture of enantiomers at a ratio other than 1:1 is a “scalemic” mixture.

“Diastereoisomers” are stereoisomers that have at least two asymmetric atoms, but which are not mirror-images of each other.

The absolute stereochemistry is specified according to the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog R-S system. When a compound is a pure enantiomer the stereochemistry at each chiral carbon may be specified by either R or S. Resolved compounds whose absolute configuration is unknown can be designated (+) or (−) depending on the direction (dextro- or levorotatory) which they rotate plane polarized light at the wavelength of the sodium D line. Certain of the compounds and salts described herein contain one or more asymmetric centers and/or hindered rotation about a bond axis and may thus give rise to enantiomers, diastereomers, and other stereoisomeric forms that may be defined, in terms of absolute stereochemistry, as (R)- or (S)-. The present disclosure is meant to include all such possible isomers, including racemic mixtures, scalemic mixtures, diastereomeric mixtures, optically pure forms and intermediate mixtures. Optically active (R)- and (S)-isomers may be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or resolved using conventional techniques.

Except as expressly defined otherwise, the present disclosure includes all tautomers of compounds detailed herein, even if only one tautomer is expressly represented (e.g., both tautomeric forms are intended and described by the presentation of one tautomeric form where a pair of two tautomers may exist). For example, if reference is made to a compound containing an amide (e.g., by structure or chemical name), it is understood that the corresponding imidic acid tautomer is included by this disclosure and described the same as if the amide were expressly recited either alone or together with the imidic acid. Where more than two tautomers may exist, the present disclosure includes all such tautomers even if only a single tautomeric form is depicted by chemical name and/or structure.

It is understood by one skilled in the art that this disclosure also includes any salt disclosed herein may be enriched at any or all atoms above naturally occurring isotopic ratios with one or more isotopes such as, but not limited to, deuterium (²H or D).

Disclosed are also pharmaceutically acceptable salts, cocrystals, and crystalline forms in which from 1 to n hydrogen atoms attached to a carbon atom may be replaced by a deuterium atom or D, in which n is the number of hydrogen atoms in the molecule. As known in the art, the deuterium atom is a non-radioactive isotope of the hydrogen atom. Such salts, cocrystals, and crystalline forms may increase resistance to metabolism, and thus may be useful for increasing the half-life of the compounds when administered to a mammal. See, e.g., Foster, “Deuterium Isotope Effects in Studies of Drug Metabolism”, Trends Pharmacol. Sci., 5(12):524-527 (1984). Such salts, cocrystals, and crystalline forms are synthesized by means well known in the art, for example by employing starting materials in which one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by deuterium.

Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into the disclosed salts, cocrystals, and crystalline forms also include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, fluorine, chlorine, and iodine, such as ²H, ³H, ¹¹C, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹³N, ¹⁵N, ¹⁵O, ¹⁷O, ¹⁸O, ³¹P, ³²P, ³⁵S, ¹⁸F, ³⁶Cl, ¹²³I, and ¹²⁵I, respectively. Substitution with positron emitting isotopes, such as ¹¹C, ¹⁸F, ¹⁵O and ¹³N, can be useful in Positron Emission Topography (PET) studies for examining substrate receptor occupancy. Isotopically-labeled salts can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described in the Examples as set out below using an appropriate isotopically-labeled reagent in place of the non-labeled reagent previously employed.

Compounds described herein may have chiral centers and/or geometric isomeric centers (E- and Z-isomers), and it is to be understood that all such optical, enantiomeric, diastereoisomeric and geometric isomers are encompassed. Where compounds are represented in their chiral form, it is understood that the embodiment encompasses, but is not limited to, the specific diastereomerically or enantiomerically enriched form. Where chirality is not specified but is present, it is understood that the embodiment is directed to either the specific diastereomerically or enantiomerically enriched form; or a racemic or scalemic mixture of such compound(s).

In a preferred embodiment, the current disclosure relates to the use of the pharmaceutically acceptable salts, cocrystals, and crystalline forms of the invention in treating a Retroviridae viral infection including an infection caused by the HIV virus comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of the pharmaceutically acceptable salt, cocrystal, or crystalline form to a subject in need thereof.

In a preferred embodiment, the current disclosure relates to the use of the pharmaceutically acceptable salts, cocrystals, and crystalline forms of the invention in treating a Retroviridae viral infection including an infection caused by the HIV virus comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of the pharmaceutically acceptable salt, cocrystal, or crystalline form to a subject in need thereof.

It is a desirable goal to discover a compound, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, a cocrystal, or crystalline form thereof having a low EC₅₀. The EC₅₀ value refers to the concentration of a compound in an assay that achieves 50% of the maximum efficacy. A compound, salt, cocrystal, or crystalline form with a lower EC₅₀ achieves similar efficacy with lower compound, salt, cocrystal, or crystalline form concentration relative to a compound, salt, cocrystal, or crystalline form with a higher EC₅₀. Thus, a lower EC₅₀ is generally preferred for drug development.

It is a desirable goal to discover a compound, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, a cocrystal, or crystalline form thereof that has good physical and/or chemical stability. An increase in overall stability of a compound, salt, cocrystal, or crystalline form can provide an increase in circulation time in the body. With less degradation, a stable compound, salt, cocrystal, or crystalline form can be administered in lower doses and still maintain efficacy. Also, with less degradation, there is less concern about by-products from degradation of a compound, salt, cocrystal, or crystalline form.

It is a desirable goal to discover a compound, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, cocrystal, or crystalline form thereof that has improved pharmacokinetic and/or pharmacodynamic profiles and long half-life. It is advantageous for a drug to have a moderate or low clearance and a long half-life, as this can lead to a good bioavailability and high exposure in systemic exposure. Reducing the clearance and increasing half-life time of a compound, salt, cocrystal, or crystalline form could reduce the daily dose required for efficacy and therefore give a better efficacy and safety profile. Thus, improved pharmacokinetic and/or pharmacodynamic profiles and long half-life can provide for better patient compliance.

It is a desirable goal to discover a compound, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, cocrystal, or crystalline form thereof that has good pharmacokinetic profile from a slow release injectable formulation. It is advantageous for a drug to have a low EC₅₀ and long acting pharmacokinetics, as this can lead to low frequency of administration. Reducing the frequency of administration can provide for better patient compliance. Reducing the frequency of administration can be desirable for patients with difficult or limited access to health care.

Polymorph Screening of N—((S)-1-(3-(4-chloro-3-(methylsulfonamido)-1-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-1H-indazol-7-yl)-6-(3-methyl-3-(methylsulfonyl)but-1-yn-1-yl)pyridin-2-yl)-2-(3,5-difluorophenyl)ethyl)-2-((3bS,4aR)-5,5-difluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)-3b,4,4a,5-tetrahydro-1H-cyclopropa[3,4]cyclopenta[1,2-c]pyrazol-1-yl)acetamide Potassium Salt

A polymorph screening of the potassium salt described in Example 4 was conducted by stirring 20 to 40 mg of amorphous Compound 1 potassium salt at about 21° C. in 0.2 mL of various solvents: water, EtOH/H₂O (1:1) mixture, acetonitrile, methanol, ethanol, acetone, IPA, MEK, MIBK, DCM, THF, 2-MeTHF, EtOAc, i-PrOAc, MTBE, and toluene. After stirring for about 1 week, the samples were either solutions or amorphous. 20 to 50 μL of heptane were added to the solution samples and they were stirred for one more week. No crystalline solids were obtained. The samples were placed in a refrigerator at about 0 to about 5° C. for about 3 days, and the sample in 2-MeTHF showed apparently birefringent particles by polarized light microscopy (PLM); however, XRPD analysis of the wet solids showed almost no crystalline peaks. This sample was used to seed a 500 mg crystallization batch from THF, which was then used to seed the other samples from the original screening experiments. After stirring for about 16 hours at about 21° C., the sample in MEK showed birefringence and was confirmed to be crystalline as wet solids by XRPD, as shown in FIG. 7 . However, after drying, the salt lost crystallinity and became amorphous.

Methanesulfonic acid (1 eq.) was stirred with 400 μL of a toluene solution containing 50 mg of Compound 1 at about 21° C. The acid was not miscible; therefore, about 50 μL MeCN was added to assist with dissolution. After stirring for a few hours, the sample crystallized and was isolated as the methanesulfonic acid (mesylate) salt or cocrystal of Compound 1, crystalline Form I, as shown in FIG. 8 .

A polymorph screening was conducted by stirring 20 to 100 mg of the methanesulfonic acid salt or cocrystal of Compound 1, crystalline Form I in 0.2 mL of various solvents at about 21° C. Slurries were obtained for most of the samples except Samples 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, to which 50 to 150 μL of heptane were added as antisolvent, and Sample 4, to which MTBE was added as antisolvents. After stirring for about 16 hours, Samples 4, 5, 6, 8, 11, 13 remained as solutions and the rest were slurries. Additional antisolvents were added to the solution samples. Samples 6, 8, 10, 13 were seeded with Sample 9, and were stirred for about 16 hours. The Samples 8 and 13 also crystallized after stirring for about 16 hours. XRPD analysis were conducted for the wet solids and the solids dried at about 50° C. under vacuum, and the results are shown in Table 5.

Solvent-antisolvent combinations are listed as solvent/antisolvent.

It was observed that the methanesulfonic acid (mesylate) salt or cocrystal formed solvates with acetonitrile, IPA, and DCM. After drying, the acetonitrile solvate became crystalline Form I, and the DCM solvate became crystalline Form III. The IPA solvate was not analyzed in the drying study because it deliquesced while being held at ambient conditions before drying. A non-solvated form, crystalline Form II, was obtained from solvents such as MEK/heptane, 2-methyltetrahydrofuran/heptane, ethyl acetate/heptane, isopropyl acetate, MTBE, and toluene.

Form I

The methanesulfonic acid (mesylate) salt or cocrystal of Compound 1, crystalline Form I was prepared by drying the solids from a mixture of toluene and MeCN. It was reproduced in the polymorph screening without toluene as shown in Table 5. In toluene alone, the methanesulfonic acid (mesylate) salt or cocrystal did not form a solvate.

The XRPD pattern of the methanesulfonic acid (mesylate) salt or cocrystal of Compound 1, crystalline Form I, is shown in FIG. 8 . A list of 2-theta peaks is provided in Table 6 below.

Dichloromethane Solvate

As shown in Table 5, the dichloromethane solvate form of the methanesulfonic acid (mesylate) salt of Compound 1 was obtained by slurrying the mesylate crystalline salt Form I in DCM. The DCM solvate form was used to obtain single crystal for X-ray diffraction (XRD) to confirm the structure of the methanesulfonic acid salt, shown in FIG. 12 .

Test D. Metabolic Stability in Cultured Human Liver Hepatocytes

Radiolabelled test compounds, wherein tritium was introduced into the structure in place of one or more hydrogens, were prepared according to known methods in the art.

The radiolabelled compounds were incubated in pooled cryopreserved hepatocytes at a substrate concentration of 0.25 μM and radioactivity concentration of 10 μCi/mL. The final hepatocyte concentration was 1 million cells/mL. The hepatocyte/compound reaction mixture was dissolved in InVitroGRO™ KHB buffer (catalog #Z99074, BioreclamationIVT, Inc., Baltimore, MD) at pH 7.4. The incubations were performed in duplicate. A cell free control and a positive control were included in the incubations. The incubations were carried out with gentle shaking in a 37° C. incubator under a humid atmosphere of 95% air/5% CO₂ (v/v). Aliquots (100 mL) were removed after 0, 1, 3, and 6 hours and added to 200 mL quenching solution that comprised 0.1% (v/v) TFA in 5% water/95% acetonitrile (v/v). The samples were placed on a shaker for 10 min, followed by centrifugation at 3000 g for 30 min. The samples of the supernatant were analyzed on a Dionex HPLC/PerkinElmer Flow Scintillation Analyzer as described below.

Liquid Chromatography—Radiochromatography

Quantification was done by comparison of radiolabeled metabolites and parent peaks measured on a Radiomatic 625TR Flow Scintillation Analyzer coupled to a Dionex/Chromeleon chromatography system. The column was a Phenomenex Synergi fusion RP (150×4.6 mm, 4 mm) maintained at 32 degrees Celsius. Mobile Phase A consisted of 0.1% (v/v) TFA in 99% water/1% acetonitrile (v/v). Mobile Phase B consisted of 0.1% (v/v) TFA in 5% water/95% acetonitrile (v/v). The flow rate was 1 mL/min using a sample injection volume of 100 mL. Gradient was as following: Mobile phase B was linearly increased from 2% to 75% over 47 min, maintained at 75% for 3 min, changed back to 2%, maintained at 2% for 10 min.

Metabolic stability was determined by measuring the change in relative abundance of metabolites and parent over time and calculating from it the rate of disappearance of the parent compound. The stability data was utilized to calculate predicted human hepatic clearance values according to methods known in the art. The predicted human hepatic clearance values are shown in Table D below.
